||  ||   ||   ||   ||   || ..... In addition, the theme of the 2017 conference is **‘Reconnecting Work and Political Economy’**. The turbulence unleashed by the financial crisis of 2008 has led to increased interest in the relationships between work and employment and the wider economy, as reflected in the recent concern with exploring forms and consequences of ‘financialisation’ and efforts to establish links between labour process analysis and the comparative analysis of institutions (Vidal and Hauptmeier, 2014). The growing interest in ‘global value chains’ (Newsome et al., 2015) has also encouraged greater attention to be paid to the contemporary global economy, while simultaneously prompting a reconsideration of the meaning, status and analytical potential of core labour process concepts and the connections between production, distribution and exchange.

Building on these developments, the aim of the conference is to extend and deepen connections between political economy research and labour process analysis.

We encourage special streams that seek to develop inter-disciplinary linkages and/or theoretical insights through their empirical, conceptual or analytical content.

Special Stream Proposals During the past few years, the conference has incorporated a select number of streams into the programme. While there is no intention to become a fully-streamed event, we have found that additional streams have been an important and intellectually stimulating aspect of our conference. This year we welcome stream proposals that reflect the theme of the conference notably ‘Reconnecting Work and Political Economy’

Since streams only represent a portion of our conference, we may not be able to accept all stream proposals. Acceptance of streams is based on a review process in which streams are evaluated based on two main criteria (in addition to the substantive focus of the proposed stream): Stream proposals of approx. 500 words should include: If you wish to discuss the possibility of organizing a stream, please contact Kirsty Newsome __ k.j.newsome@sheffield.ac.uk __ Stream Proposal Extended Deadline: 15th August 2016 For details see the __ full Call for Papers __or visit the __ ILPC Website ilpc.org.uk __ back to @ILPC
 * The focus of the stream reflects the overall theme of the conference; and/or treats traditional topics in a novel way.
 * The stream will broaden the audience for the conference and attract scholars who may be new to the event.
 * Detailed description of the proposed stream (including title and key conveners).
 * A discussion of how the stream will address the criteria for inclusion listed above.
